2024 Interview with Rhon Bruce from Green High School


Rhon Bruce 

Green High School 

Wide receiver, DB, punter. 

2025

6’2, 160l

What was the high point of the 2023 season? 

Was when we played at the school called Glenoak, and the first half of the game we were just playing so badly it was like 36-0, but then after half time we started to come back and we ended up winning the game by 3 points.

What was the low point of the 2023 season? 

We played at this school called Jackson High School, and our kicker broke his ankle like it completely snapped, and another was during another game against McKinley High School, and our starting quarterback broke his collarbone in the beginning of the second quarter.

Who was the best player you have ever faced in a game, along with the team he played for?

The best player I faced in a game was a kid from Hoover High School. I don’t know his name, but he's most definitely the best player I’ve played against. 

What is the strongest part of your game? Offense

What part of your game do you believe you must improve on the most? Probably defense, because I’m a DB, so probably just looking over the whole field while we are in certain coverages. 

What are you doing during the off-season to aid you in improving your game? 

I’ve been going to the gym almost every day; I do footwork drills, and I have a personal trainer. 

What will you miss the most about the 2024 class? 

I will miss the brothers I made on the field during the season, and my cousin Caleb Brooks is leaving; it’s his senior year. 

What are your personal goals for the 2024 season? To improve in my footwork, score as many touchdowns as possible, and become a better athlete 

With 2024 being your final season as a high school player, will you approach things any differently than you have in the past?

Yes, I most definitely will have to have a better mindset and play more physically. 

Looking back on the road games you have played, which stadium had the best overall atmosphere, along with what made it so good? 

The best stadium I’ve played at was probably the Hall of Fame stadium, because it’s such a big stadium and there are a lot of people in the stands in such a crazy environment.

After the season is over, if you are invited to play in any of the after-season all-star games, will you?

Yes.

What makes a good teammate?

Someone you can rely on and who has good communication

What is your go-to snack?

Probably like a bag of hot fries and a blue Gatorade. 

Who is your role model? 

Probably my uncle, who passed, was a great person, always had a passion for prep, was helpful, and always wished the best for me personally.

  Jake Heigel Brockway High  Head Football Coach Who was the best player you have ever coached against, and what team did he play for? Carson Neely, Port Allegany  Looking back from day one as a coach up to the present, what have been the low and high points of your coaching career? 2020 was a rough first year. We had maybe 15 kids on the roster in preseason sometime in late June. We ended up with probably 6 starters who had never played football in their lives, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success! I was also ejected from our game against Cowanesque Valley. We lost to DuBois 49-0 to end the difficult season... The future did not look so bright. - But fast forward to 2022, where we won our first playoff game 62-6. Followed that up with a win against the reigning western finals champion, Redbank Valley, in a 7-3 fist fight to advance to the D9 championship. In 2023, we won an overtime thriller against DuBois Area 14–13, avenging a 1-point loss at the 1-yard line t...

We fell short last season, but we are coming back stronger. My personal goals were to be a full-time starter and contribute to my team's success. I was able to start and contribute despite a few injuries that prevented me from being 100% throughout the season. What is it like to play for Coach Pendleton? It’s an honor playing for Coach Pendleton; he knows what it takes to be successful and play at the next level. A coach demands excellence and accepts nothing less. What makes Coach different from other coaches is that he teaches us toughness, and that’s what separates Ironton from other teams. Coach has surrounded us with some of the best staff in Ohio.
